“The staffing reductions are limited to roles that are no longer required as we rebalance our skills, function by function, department by department… It’s a small-enough number that we will not be announcing or reporting it,” spokesman Ray Gorman told the Triangle Business Journal.

The cuts reportedly are part of the realignment announced in May to adjust to market shifts and to continue to invest in what it calls its “PC Plus strategy.” The strategy revolves around the notion that mobile devices will complement PCs, not replace them entirely. In an interview with McKinsey & Co., Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing said the company has been planning for years for the decline of PCs.
